Heritage co-education in museums and historical-artistic heritage: a didactic tool to apply the gender perspective during mediation in heritage education

Abstract

This article presents a didactic tool for diagnosis in heritage co-education for mediation between heritage educators and the public in museums and heritage centres and its detailed application in a case study. This tool aims to improve the practice of heritage education by applying the gender perspective in the implementation of activities promoted by museums aimed at educational centres and families with children. The objective is to contribute to generating an equitable and inclusive education for girls and boys with the purpose of helping to fight against gender-based violence. The results will help to progressively improve the narrative of the activities and relational education practice, as androcentric stereotypes are detected and made aware to modify them.
